The following instructions are for configuring a Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment test lab using the minimum number of computers. Individual computers are needed to separate the services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor does it reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network.

There are 4 steps to follow when setting up Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment test lab based on the Base Configuration Test Lab Guide.

Note

You must be logged on as a member of the Domain Admins group or as a member of the Administrators group on each computer to complete the tasks described in this guide. If you cannot complete a task while you are logged on with an account that is a member of the Administrators group, try performing the task while you are logged on with an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group.

Step 3: Test Remote Desktop Services Connectivity. CLIENT1 is a Windows 8 computer that is used to test that you can successfully connect to the Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment session collection.

Step 4: Snapshot the configuration. At the completion of the lab, snapshot the configuration so that you can later return to a working Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment Test Lab.

This Test Lab Guide uses the Base Configuration network as a starting place. Please complete the steps in Test Lab Guide: Base Configuration before proceeding with the remainder of the steps in this guide. If you have already completed the steps in the Base Configuration Test Lab Guide and saved a disk image or a virtual machine snapshot of the Base Configuration, then you can restore the Base Configuration and proceed to the next step.

On the Server Selection page, accept the default selections, and then click Next.

On the Confirm selections page, select the Restart the destination server automatically if required check box, and then click Deploy.

Click Close.

Note

The computer will restart after the RD Session Host role service is installed. After the restart is complete and you log on as CORP\User1, the Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment will finish the installation.

This completes the Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment test lab. To save this configuration so that you can quickly return to a working Session Virtualization Quick Start deployment configuration from which you can test other modular test lab guides (TLGs), TLG extensions, or for your own experimentation and learning, do the following:

On all physical computers or virtual machines in the test lab, close all windows and then perform a graceful shutdown.
